2. Decision is a thought process of
selecting a logical choice from the
available options .
For a good decision, a
person must weight the positives and
negatives of each option, and consider
all the alternatives.

3. Rational decision making is a multi-step process for
making choices between alternatives. The process of
rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and
analysis over subjectivity and insight .
In a rational decision making
process, a business manager will often employ a series
of analytical steps to review relevant facts,
observations and possible outcomes before choosing a
particular course of action ".

8. Creativity is a human faculty which helps individuals
and groups to take sound decisions on various
problems , It is a vital ingredient in successful decision
Making .
Creativity is generally defined as an ability
to think originality and bring out something new . It
is not necessarily a super human ability . It is a genuine
human thinking process by which certain individuals
conceive ideas which do not strike others .However ,
Creativity by itself is not enough in decision making .

fact and a step by step process to come to a decision .
Whereas , creativity is an ability to bring out
something new or novel .
For the best of the results and
decisions , the managers or individuals must use both
the Decision making modal ( i.e. Rational modal and
Creative Modal ) according to the Situations and
Circumstances .
